Mike Del Ponte, center, was on his way to priesthood when he realized that the best way to create social change was through entrepreneurship, not volunteerism. So Mike founded Sparkseed, a non-profit that invests in young social entrepreneurs. In 2011 Mobilize.org acquired Sparkseed to help provide even more support to the next generation of entrepreneurs and a greater impact on social entrepreneurship overall.
You can see his latest project, SOMA, on kickstarter HERE
